She encouraged participants to dress up as a character or wear a silly hat. The one with the best costume will win a prize. Also, prizes will be awarded for the Best Decorated Presentation and Best Design Chocolate.

In addition, four to five musicians will perform a variety of music along the walk, which runs from Third to 15th streets along Main Street with several merchants participating on the side streets.

"We'll be giving out chocolate badges to everybody," Guill said. "They'll also have the wrist bands, and they'll have the bags they'll be carrying around, too."

In conjunction with the theme "Chocolate Lovers Walk," the organizers also plan to look for the themes, "Still Standing Tall With The Royal Gorge Bridge" and "Norman Rockwell," which is an exhibit coming in July through the Fremont Center for the Arts.

As part of the event, Guill also thanked Katalynn Sulton for making the posters, as well as Rachel Sutton, of Cañon City schools and Rick Sutton, of Florence schools, for having the students create the bags to carry during the event.
